So Eddie Posted as I was Posting and I'm not going to keep beating the dead horse for each person. I too could post reviews saying the opposite but fine, if Engadget and Gizmodo (2 sites the everyman go visit) says so then I'll take their word for it, especially since they are reviewing something that isn't even out yet, but if that's how we roll then fine. Ed I'm not pissed I don't own stock or have input in its creation, I never said this this was fast, heavy, or any good actually... cause I haven't used it... I'll I've been talking about is the tech and its possibilities... Oh and Dino.... ya hear that? Sounds like the world really is ready for a video phone!!! I don't think so but Jason, Ed and all the other Geeks seem to think that function is a MUST have in a device these day! Run to Head Office MAN!!! This is your time to shine!!!

Original Post

Yes, lets stop these long winded posts, because Nelson is crazy... Lets go back to Jason paying a yearly fee to keep this site up and only have a monthly post. And lets keep those posts short.... hmm lets say to about 140 characters or less. As Soon as Nelson gets like this... you know Passionate about something, lets pat him on the fucking head, tell him its alright and move on. <-this means its funny

Fine since debating seems to only be something Dino and I enjoy (I know you live for it too ED) I'll save my energy.

But I must admit I'm kinda disappointed that you guys have such blinders on. All this talk about "10 years in development and they came up with this" or "Its only a giant iPOD"
Am I the only one that see's maybe iPod touch was the stepping stone for this? You know... TV's start small, get bigger as they're perfected... or what if back in the day it went like this...

Steve: "I want to make a Touchscreen computer that will be in every home"
Tech Guy: "Well we did just sell millions of those MP3 players with the click wheel"
Steve: "So what you're saying is we are already in peoples home, now we just need to stay there and get into some more"
Tech: "um, yup, sure"
Steve: "Build a Touch screen iPod.... even better a PHONE since everyone has one of those, and if it works, we'll roll out my Hollands Opus"

Technology is a progression, you guys are stuck on the iPad and what it can't do. Its not a revolution you say, ok so what do you call it now that every pc maker out there will be scrambling to beat this thing? And here's the thing for you non techy people... if anyone tell you no one will try to beat this thing.... they have no idea what they're talking about. I'm sorry, but Apple REVOLUTIONIZED the cell phone and its going to happen again, this isn't me making this shit up... There are plenty of Touchscreen computers out there... especially in the passed few years... why? Hmmm maybe because of the iPhone??? PC makers saw that people enjoyed touching things so they started implementing it in their PC's. So does that not show that maybe Apple was planning this thing all along and the iPhone was maybe a warning shot, to see how the market would handle it.

I'm not going to argue this stupid Eye strain thing because its so insane how anyone can keep stating made up facts over and over. I asked for proof and I get bullshit again. Its like arguing with someone that carrots are good for your eyes.... They aren't people just THINK they are cause that's what they were told as a kid.

And Jase... how about you let Sheree make up her own mind. What you've done is leaned her towards your Opinion. So if she did read this then she would say "Well Jason says I don't need it, then I don't Need it, cause he's my tech guy" And that goes back to what I said earlier.... You find out what a person needs, then you give them the options.... You don't take away an option because YOU PERSONALLY DON'T NEED IT!

How does Apple have people brain washed? I don't get this mentality? Force Feeding, Brain Washed... do you guys have Dictionaries at home? They rent a conference hall and boom the whole world shows up to see whats going to happen... why is that?
Is it because every time they do rent a hall, they end up showing off some sexy new tech?
So people want to see more so they clammier for a first peak...
And how is that a fault?
People like SEXY new things... Apple makes Sexy new things....
If I could afford a machine... I would buy one, if I liked the OS I would use it. That's me. I don't spit on someone that uses OSX, I respect that its probably easier to use, and all that stuff. So how Can I hate a machine that just got easier to use? Like I said, I want everyone to have a computer, there is so much free information out there that its a crime that not everyone is able to access it. So If Apple just opened up the Market to people with arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome and they are the only ones to use this thing.... Good job, we just got a few more. A few years ago a company started the OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) project, and people complained about having to wind up the computer to use it.... ITS A F****KING COMPUTER FOR THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES!!! Where do you plug in a laptop in the Jungle?!?! Look passed what this things lack and think of the possibility! Its getting people interested in what I LOVE...

I give up, its so clear as day to me that honestly I can't think up anything else. I ramble incoherently but at least I try to back my shit up, "ITS BAD FOR YOUR EYES CAUSE MY EYES HURT" or "IT HAS NO USB PORTS... I DON'T KNOW WHY I WANT THEM BUT IT HAS NONE" are just as Jason said, Arguments for arguments sake.... So little boy, don't come on here with your "I JUST BOUGHT A KINDLE SO I KNOW IT HAS TO BE GOODER THAN THE TOY I REALLY WANT IN 60 DAYS" BS. Cause I know you, and when this thing come out you'll be at futureshop and you'll pick it up, and you'll think.... "Shit, this thing really is nice and easy to read... But I'll still send Nelson a Text saying.... mhhhh its cool I guess"

For once I wish Dino would post, cause he's the Target Audience for this thing, Sheree too but to me she's been tainted. I say that because So is Liz and so is Laurie, because we are the goto tech guys so they will lean towards what we say. But Dino... He's our wild card...

Dean, from what you've heard around the water cooler, whats your thoughts on all this?

And Jase....

We just Built a Time Machine.... We go back 2 years and DO NOT buy Nancy an iPod.
Now Present day... April comes along.... Do we buy her an Ipod or iPad? Have to buy one and back up your decision.

We dust off the Time Machine.... We go back 5 Years and DO NOT buy mommy a laptop.
Present Day.... Do we buy mommy a Laptop or iPad? Have to buy one and back it up.

Sometime this Summer... Daddy is going to Portugal, and he is getting worse about wanting a computer there.
Do we build him a Desktop, buy A laptop or an iPad? Have to do one, back it up.

There is no right answer I'm looking for as hard as you guys find it to believe I really do want imput on how this thing is going to be accepted. I just don't like your original reasons I want real life people reasons, not Hater Pants reasons.
